Example 2 Command Block–Example using a Network Address name
This example is the same as Example 1 except that the Network Address name of the remote host

see the chapter: “Network Administration Support”.
Establish a channel (Channel 7) to a remote host application server with a Network Address name
of “PLC_1aa”. Return the COMMREQ Status word to %R10. Send local PLC registers
%R50–%R57 to remote host. Repeat the send 10 times, once every 7 seconds, with a timeout of
500 ms for each transfer.
